Hansa was exceptional and the Salt Farm was a unique local life adventure

This opportunity is truly a local immersive experience. Hansa takes you to a salt farm and through the mangrove conservation area. These two landscapes are other- worldly in themselves. Then add personal contact with the workers, walking into the salt collection pools, learning all the stages of salt production, and viewing the lost shores and mangrove forests of the Gulf of Thailand. It is a mind altering experience.

But Hansa softens the physical demands by providing cold water, snacks, a very roomy car, and coconut refreshment. The seafood lunch provides by the Baanya Sea Salt Farm was the best food I have had in Thailand. Fresh, just from the sea, and beautifully served. This tour was salty, hot, demanding and luxurious. All in one day. Do it!

Absolutely great day! Very unique experience. We started at the mangroves which was beautiful. Then we went to her friends restaurant and got to help cook the most amazing 6 course seafood meal! Then we got to explore the salt farm and fishing area. Hansa was so welcoming and willing to answer all questions!

Hansa was absolutely wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and excited to teach and engage us in the experience.

Hansa very friendly, polite & willing to share & helpful too as I asked lots of questions during the tour. She has patiently helped me to communicate with the local people at Samut Sakhon as not many of them can speak English. So, she is not just the local expert, tour guide, also as translator & great photographer too

Really enjoy my day with her & I have learnt a lot more about mangrove & salt farm

Guess what?

We share the same passion ~ love of travelling, so we have nice chit chat & sharing of our travel stories too during our tour. She is a comfortable person to spend a day or even longer together. Am sure our friendship starts from this tour, however it will grow longer for sure :D

Keep it up Hansa!! You're awesome in your way & I wish more local communities will be benefits with your future tours planned then

Do sign up your tour with Hansa, it definitely worth your time ya :D

Cheers,
